Product Details

The Firewire LFT ADDvance surfboard. Now available in Linear Flex Technology, and due to it's popularity and loyal following Firewire have added more lengths.Combining the buoyancy of a longboard with a contemporary outline. The ADDvance Surfboard Series opens up new possibilities for fun and performance.This is it, this is the board you've been waiting for! A high performance surfboard which incorporates the very latest cutting edge technology with the same volume and float of a longboard in a much more sporty template. If you're a big guy looking to 'cut-loose' or a longboarder who's looking to get a little more vertical, the Addvance ticks all the boxes.The Addvance has been one of the most popular Firewire models we've stocked, and the customer feedback has been staggering. From guys charging chunky, well overhead surf in the channel islands to older guys rediscovering their mojo, the Addvance never seems to disappoint!The new Linear Flex Technology (LFT) replaces the Rapidfire internal carbon rods with an 18mm wide composite Springer HD Suspension System that runs from nose to tail and includes a top-deck sheet to improve compression resistance. This high density insert creates additional strength through the centre with increased flex through the tail. The EPS top sheet buffer above the HD Springer allows for some compression but without the raised ridge and cracking that can occur with traditional wooden stringer surfboards. LFT delivers plenty of 'TWANG' in and out of your turns and creates the fast-twitch flex response that gives the surfer the feedback and return desired.LFT at last brings the perfect blend of a brand-new traditional PU 'board feel' with the added durability of modern sandwich construction.

Haven't surfed for 30 years and when I did it was only a couple times a year i.e. novice surfer. Now at 56 I wanted to get back into surfing. Went down to the Board Shop as I liked the Firewire Advance and had a chat with the guys who were extremely helpful, of what would be suitable for my experience or lack of experience 7ft 2 they said would be fine. Brought the board and headed straight down to the sea Wittering. 2ft waves stood up on second attempt. Board paddles easily and straight would definitely recommend this board for someone who wants a smaller board other than 8 or 9ft to start on that's got moderate balance and medium fitness like me.

I was advised to go for this board after discussing what I was after. A cracking board that you won't be dissapointed about buying. Easy to paddle and catches even the smallest of waves.Deliverd the next day before 8am so I didn't have to have a day off work. Thanks again guys!!

I grew up surfing a 6'2" twin fin. As I got older I moved up to a 6'10" thruster, then in my late forties a 8'2" mini mal, which was great for catching waves but did not turn as well as the shorter boards. I am now 55 and 2 weeks ago bought a 6'10" Addvance from Boardshop. I needed the board shipped to Dublin within 5 days. Boardshop got it to me in 4 days with online tracking all the way. Great service! Took the board away for a week to the west of Ireland. Waves were 2-5 foot all week with light off shore winds. The Addvance was GREAT! As the ads say, it turns like a short board and catches waves like a mini mal. It definitely has put more fun back into my surfing. And I feel the 6'10" is the perfect size for me at my age, weight (82kg) and fitness level (avg - above avg) and should work well, in to my 60's.
Addvice - talk with the guys at boardshop, they seem happy to chat away about surfing and will match you up to the correct size board.
